Hotel Vesturland

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay. My favorite hotel out of 12 while we traveled Iceland. We were upgraded to a suite that was amazing! Beautiful large bathroom, table sitting area, living room with sofa and a large bedroom and large and comfy bed. They also have a nice spa but unfortunately we were just too tired to use. The breakfast was also very good and had a great selection."

"We loved the cozy atmosphere we felt upon arriving at the Inn. There's a common area to hang out in with board games to play, with comfy chairs and a dining area aswell. The hosts offered free coffee or tea which was a nice touch. Our room was clean and the beds were comfy. The bathroom was a little small with an awkward curb on the floor for the shower area but thats more of an observation than a complaint. The breakfast was very good. We would definitely stay here again"
